American author Horace Greeley is credited with penning the line “Go west young man” back in 1865. The west is where he thought rich opportunity existed — agriculturally — for the person who was ambitious enough to leave the increasingly-developed eastern U.S.

To translate that phrase into smart, politically correct, 2011 language, I would say this: “Go to pch.com, men and women of all ages.”

Whether you go east, north, south or west, you’ll have a hard time finding a richer opportunity– financially — than you can find RIGHT NOW at pch.com.

The deadline for PCH online sweepstakes entry is February 15th. While some might be tempted to procrastinate, thinking that date leaves plenty of time to enter the sweepstakes, they would be forfeiting more opportunities to win. Wise old Horace Greeley would not approve! You see, our Official Rules allow you to enter every day and thereby increase your chances of winning. In other words, you can enter today, tomorrow, the day after that and every day until February 15th – while the procrastinator might only enter once and thereby have only one chance to win.

P.S. To the many bloggers who wished me well for the new year, my sincere thanks – and my apologies for not responding to each one individually. Happy New Year to you all. As mentioned in my December 25 blog, I am retiring from “active duty” at Publishers Clearing House; but I will still be posting blogs every now and then and re-joining the Prize Patrol from time to time in 2011 as a Prize Patrol Ambassador.
